3. THE SARCOPHAGUS
OF TUTANKHAMEN
First of all, you need to understand the reason for
the very uniqueness of the tomb of King
Tutankhamun. As itself in the history of ancient
Egypt ruler did not leave a deep impression - the
rules just a few years, has died at a very young age,
no exploits, conquests, public elementary
achievements do not have time.
Best of the tombs of the Pharaohs were the most
famous, grand and luxury - that is, the famous
pyramids. But do not confuse the appearance of the
tomb and its functional purpose.

4. To the ancient Egyptians afterlife it was more important than the immediate life
therefore the safety of the human body and presence with him various magical amulets and
objects of "essentials" was the main condition for a comfortable existence in the afterlife.
For all time the existence of the tomb attracted different robbers. Because of this, many tombs
were plundered.
But the tomb of Tutankhamun was designed so that a few thousand years to the robbers did not
get it, we are simply not found.

6. INSIDE OF TOMB

7. Inside the tombs found numerous decorations,
household items, furniture, works of art of that
era, as well as the golden sarcophagus weighing
more than 110 kilograms with the mummified
body of the young king of ancient Egypt.

8. Pharaoh of XVIII dynasty
of the New Kingdom rules
about 9 years old, with
about 1332 to 1323 years
BC (died at the age of 19).
Before they reach their
age of 20, Tutankhamun
died (or maybe he was
killed) and was buried in a
tomb in the "Valley of the
Kings" near Thebes.

9. Most the exposure given to the description of the tomb of the pharaoh. His mummy was placed
in three different . Two of them were from the gilded wood, and the third of pure gold. Sami
sarcophagi were closed in four gilded "cabinets", located also in each other.

10. Golden sarcophagus - is the largest in the history of ancient Egyptian jewelry art
monolithic product. It provides insight into the religious ceremony, which the priests had
burned for the dead pharaoh, art chasing goldsmiths, who for a short time after death,
just a few weeks, it was necessary to create a sarcophagus, put on it the appropriate
patterns, mount gems. During the same time it was necessary to prepare the burial place
itself, to put on the wall painting, put in the tomb of multi-ton stone sarcophagus.

11. It is difficult to imagine how the
chasers, jewelers of the time
produced the golden mask of the
deceased Pharaoh as they were
able to convey a portrait likeness.
It affects the purity of metal, no
seams, everything seemed to cast,
all polished to a shine.

12. This mask portrays
Tutankhamun in a striped hat
crowned with symbolic
images of the head of a hawk
and cobra. Poisonous snake
and a bird of prey symbolized
the Pharaoh protect itself and
its citizens against all enemies.
He - the two land lord as a
hawk and cobra.
The breast mask - a rich
necklace, deepening filled
smalt color - dark blue,
turquoise, red. Especially
expressive, turned out at eye
mask black pupil circled dark
blue outline, and the feeling
that Pharaoh alive, looks at
the world. Mummy itself was
all littered with precious
stones.
